Fuck you Fusion! Love the new shit guys and gal - keep it coming all over us! Check out the FREE DOWNLOAD called “Whatever Billy” A complete idiotic, pissed-up cover version of “Liam lynch’s United states of whatever. ”
People you just go from strength to strength. My favourite is “Ode” but I cream in my knickers when I hear the guitar on “Don’t try to fight it.” Yeah The new DVNC CD single is on it’s way to you hopefully followed by a full length CD shortly.
Ah Cheers - Nice to have found you!. Good Luck with the Green Man Festival! If I'd known you were playing The Railway the other night I would have made the effort to have popped down to listen. Cheers again, Si

The shows are going to be full of great music... with a select few 'Michael Mann Band' members performing solo sets, such as... Jenny Hallam, Lawrence Jepson, Hywel Pothecary and Alex Albrow.
